An ordinary drawknife is too large for most carving — the Veritas is designed for ease of use with maximum control.

The teardrop-shaped handles are cocked at 45° to the blade and nestle comfortably in your hands. The polished 102mm x 3.2mm x 19mm blade is ground and honed to a perfect edge, and is supplied with a blade guard.

The drawknife blade is custom made by a blade maker in the USA to exacting standards. With walnut handles, it is an attractive tool.
